Question

Please help!

The names of the days of the week are written on seven separate slips of paper in a bag. You pull one slip out. Describe the theoretical probability of it being a weekday.​

Answer 1

5/7

Explanation:

There are 7 different days of the week.

5 are weekdays: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

2 are weekend days, which are not weekdays: Saturday, Sunday

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

The desired outcomes are all the weekdays. There are 5 of them, so the number of desired outcomes is 5.

The total number of possible outcomes is 7 since there are 7 different days in a week.

p(weekday) = 5/7
